Subject: Re: Don't open this if you get your feelings hurt - Why does everyone say its OK to be gay?[PR&C] by biggrizzly on 2011/6/24 12:24:14 I knew this was an explosive and controversial topic and don't want to piss anyone off. I am just venting not so much because of the act of homosexuality or that two dudes live together or two chicks dig one another and set up house like Ozzie & Harriet, but because of the mainstream approval and heavily publicized approval rating it shares on TV and in the news. I still can't help believe that there are many young people out there that are convinced they are gay or influenced in some manner because of the widespread approval and desensitization of homosexuality by pop culture. Adolescence is a difficult enough time for lots of kids but why give them an other option. I don't know...I am usually pretty moderate myself, or at least I'd like to think I am and in some way I'm sorry for bringing this up in a public forum. I guess I should have kept my head in the sand like the rest but sitting there last night watching TV with one advertisement after another and then the story lines of so many sitcoms and TV shows finally just aggravated me enough to make this post. Additionally, I'm not a homophobe and I too have friends and acquaintances that are gay, live together, and have differing lifestyles, so its not the people so much I'm bitching about, but the widespread commercialization and approval rating it gets. I think that I am going to start making commercials that portray sanctity of heterosexual marriage and how it can make for a fulfilling life for young people too!! Kind of like the old Ozzie & Harriet or Leave it to Beaver shows. Or commercials that quickly flash images and videos of happy heterosexual couples engaging in fun wholesome activities, holding hands and saying "It's OK to be straight.. we belong"... |
